Barcelona is certainly an exciting place to be, but together with that buzz come a few more unsavoury angles, including the problem of pickpockets.
Tourists in all parts of the world are continually advised to take precautions when travelling, not only about shopping around for a travel insurance quote before they leave home but also about taking care where they go whilst abroad and the need to keep a close watch on their possessions.
Already the Telegraph, Times and Daily Mail newspapers in the UK have published stories about the problem of pickpockets operating in Barcelona, with two of them alarmingly calling the city the pickpocket capital of the world. Many of Europe’s big tourist cities like Rome, Madrid, Prague and Amsterdam also have issues with pickpockets and it’s a problem that is difficult to solve without the combined action of the police together with tourists taking adequate precautions themselves.
